Those involved are merely advancing their own personal agenda, says Sir Jeffrey Donaldson.
Sir Jeffrey says he has sought to avoid "engaging in public bickering with fellow unionists"The Democratic Unionist Party leader has hit out at some within his own ranks for briefing against the party.
During his time as party leader, Sir Jeffrey wrote in the letter, he had sought to avoid "engaging in public bickering with fellow unionists", instead focusing on defending the union. In some cases, "years of daily gutting each other on the airwaves" had had an eroding effect on pro-union voters, he added.
As set out in his message to members, Sir Jeffrey is determined to face down those he accuses of briefing against the party.The timing of his warning is key as the party could soon have a big decision to make about a potential return to Stormont.Then it will be for the party leadership to decide if the offer is enough to tempt the DUP back to Stormont.If so we can expect more secret briefings to the media just like the one leaked today.
